With a wired or wireless connection, the powerful 5W speaker is pocket-sized for easy portability and features 3 hours playback time. For anyone thinking of investing in a Bluetooth speaker perhaps to take away or to simply have around the house you won;t go far wrong with the KitSound Hive2! With stereo pairing you can connect two Hive X speakers and hear your favourite music with added depth and sound. Maybe that's something to do with the power rating, but it seems odd to me, and is a bit of a pain as the wall charger is much more convenient to use than the laptop. The Hive™ True Wireless speaker allows you to enjoy music with a portable surround sound system using true wireless technology.

Portable music has been a hit, especially since Sony first developed their Walkman players and then Apple introduced their iPods.

Not only is the Hive compatible with Apple, Android and Windows devices via Bluetooth, it has line-in connectivity too, meaning it will work with most mobile phones, computers, tablets and MP3 players using a standard 3. While you’re there, pick up some accessories for many mobile devices like the iPhone and the Nokia Lumia 925, which is a great phone to pair with the Hive! In fact, my only true criticism relates to the surface of the speaker, which is infuriatingly uncleanable. Charging takes about three hours, and a full tank will power the KitSound through ten hours of playback.

Fortunately it is a micro usb connection so if you have a device that has a micro usb charger then you are good to go. If your phone cant keep up with the KS Hive Xs battery life, KitSound has also included a USB charging output. If your phone can keep up with the KS Hive Xs battery life, KitSound has also included a USB charging output. I personally have on of the older (and larger) models provided by KitSound and found it to be a fantastic product.He was happier with the sound with less treble and actually thought that was some more midrange compared to the original unit.

I'm not sure if this is meant to be some sort of battery saving feature or something but it makes the speakers unusable for anything other than music and I'm a massive podcast fan so unless I have a defective unit I will be asking for a refund. Pure, Rugged Sound with 57 mm active drivers and an immense digital amplifier create 20 W of pure expansive audio that will rival speakers double its size. It is also the second product from KitSound that I have tested in recent weeks, the first being the Cube, a party light-up speaker which failed to impress in anything other than vibrancy. It connects to everything I ask it to without any problems and the batteries last many hours before recharging.If it was designed in Germany then it would be functional and probably excellent, if it had been Scandinavian then it would have been beautiful, and if it had been conceived in Japan then it would have been a technological marvel. The Hive2+ includes 40mm active drivers and an immense digital amplifier combined with a passive bass radiator creates 12 Watts of engineered sound. I bought it to use with an iPod Touch and I find it very easy to use although the battery life could be slightly better.
